What happens when I amplify voltage 10 000 times? or 100 000 times?
And supply this voltage the to regular Analog IC?
I saw several circuits when they do that without any protection measures?
But how is this possible? If I amplify just 1V 10k times it becomes 10 000V. Without any resistor it is 10 000 Amps!!!!!!!!!!
It can blow up everything to sh"t.

Interesting first post for a RC site. Can you provide more info on what you saw?
If it's a typical op amp for example, just a guess based on your high gain comments, a feedback circuit can lower the gain to an appropriate level for the IC.
